USomnini uzakuza abe abuse
1Qala, kuza ilanga elilethwa nguSomnini,
lapha izitha zakho zizakwabelana khona
ipahlakho ngaphakathi kwakho, Jerusalema.
2USomnini uthi:
“Ngizakubuthelela zoke izizwe
bona zilwe neJerusalema;
idorobho lizakuthunjwa,
izindlu zisahlelwe
bese abafazi bayagagadlhelwa.
Ingcenye yedorobho izakuya ekuthunjweni,
kodwana abaseleko bazakuhlala edorobhenapha.”
3Yeke uSomnini uzakuvela ahlule izizwezo,
njengombana vane ahlule ngamalanga wepi.
4Mhlokho uSomnini uzakubeka iinyawo zakhe
phezu kweNtaba ye-Oliva,
ngepumalanga yeJerusalema,
iNtaba ye-Oliva izakuphadlhuka kabili
ukusuka epumalanga ukuya etjingalanga.
Ingcenye yentaba izakuya ngetlhagwini
bese enye iya ngesewula,
yenze umrhoba omkhulu.
5(Umrhoba weKhidroni onabela e-Atshali uzakuqintwa. Uzakuqintwa njengamhla uqintwa kuhlengezela kwephasi emihleni yabo-Uziya ikosi yakwaJuda.)
Yeke uSomnini uZimakho uzakufika,
kabacwengileko bakho wena Jerusalema.
6Mhlokho akuzukusa,
akuzukuba makhaza nanyana kube nelothe.
7Ngesikhatheso, esaziwa nguSomnini,
kuzakuba semini kwaphela,
kungabi nemini nobusuku.
Lokha nakuhlwako, kuzasoloko kunomkhanyo.
8Mhlokho amanzi agelezako
azakugobhoza aphuma eJerusalema;
ingcenye yawo izakugelezela
ngelwandle elingepumalanga
bese amanye agelezela
ngelwandle elingetjingalanga,
ubusika nehlobo.
9USomnini uzakubusa ephasini loke.
Mhlokho kuzakuba noSomnini munye,
libizo lakhe lodwa elizakubizwa.
10Inarha yoke ukusuka eGeba ukuya eRimoni ngesewula izakufana nomrhoba weJordani. Kodwana iJerusalema izakuphakanyiswa inzinze endawenayo. Ukusuka eSangweni lakwaBhenjamini ukuya ngehlangothini langeSangweni lokuThoma, ukuya eSangweni leJikeni nokusuka eMbhotjhongweni weHananeli ukuya ebutlhodlhelweni besigodlweni, 11yoke indawo leyo izakuba nabahlali. IJerusalema ayisazukurhayilwa godu; izakuvikeleka. 12Naka amanikelela uSomnini azakurhadla ngawo zoke izizwe ezizakulwa neJerusalema: Inyama yazo izakuwohloka ziphila, amehlwazo awohlokele emgodinawo namalimazo abolele ngemilonyenazo.
13Mhlokho uSomnini uzokurhadla abantu ngevalo.
Babambane bebasahlelane omunye nomunye.
14UJuda naye uzakuhlula njengeJerusalema.
Kuzakuhlanganiswa umnono wezizwe zoke
ezisahlela iJerusalema:
kube liqubi legolide nesiliva kanye nezambatho.
15Amanikelela afana
nalawo azakurhadla iinjomani,
iimeyila, amakamela nabodumbana –
zoke iimbandana eziseenkampeni zezitha.
16Kwabasele emakhaya bezizwe zoke ebezisahlele iJerusalema bazakukhuphuka umnyaka nomnyaka bayokulotjha uSomandla onguSomnini uMninimandlawoke, bebahlanganyele ekugidingeni umnyanya weMitlhatlhana. 17Abantu bephasi, abangakhuphukeli eJerusalema ukuyokulotjha uSomandla onguSomnini uMninimandlawoke, abazukulibona izulu. 18Abantu beGibhide abangazokukhuphuka ukuyogidinga emnyanyeni weMitlhatlhana, abazukuzwiswa amanikelela njengezinye izizwe, kodwana amadlelwabo wangemlanjeni iNayili azakuhlala omile. 19Lokhu kuzakuba sibetho seGibhide bekube sibetho sazo zoke izizwe ezingayi ukuyokugidinga umnyanya weMitlhatlhana. 20Mhlokho kuzakutlolwa amagama athi “zahlukaniselwe uSomnini” ebuketleketleni beenjomani. Iimbiza zokupheka ezisendlini kaSomnini, zizakufana neenqwebu ezicwengileko eziphambi kwe-aldari. 21Yoke imbiza eseJerusalema nekwaJuda izakucwenga phambi kwakaSomnini uMninimandlawoke, boke abazokwenza umhlabelo bazakuthatha ezinye zeembizezo bapheke ngazo. Mhlokho angeze kusaba nomthengisi endlini kaSomnini uMninimandlawoke.
